How many players have played for the Shrimpers in more than one spell? NB: I'm not including those who joined on loan then joined permanently (including Cawston and Hunt). However, two loan spells are OK. The answers are below:
The first was the great Joe Sibley, 226 appearances over two spells (1937-1947 and 1950-1956)
After that:
Les Stubbs (1948-1952 and 1958-1960)
Then nothing until
Tony Hadley (1974-1983 and 1984-85)
Paul Clark (1976-77 and 1982-1991)
Roy McDonough (1983-84 and 1985-1990)
Andy Edwards (1989-1995 and 2004-6)
Spencer Prior (1989-1993 and 2004-7)
Dominic Iorfa (1994-1996 and 1999)
Ian Selley (1996-7, 2002) - The first man to play three spells
Mark Patterson (1997 and 1999)
Mel Capleton (1998 and 1999-2002) - Was here in 1990 but never played
Michael Kightly (2002-5 and 2017-19)
